News of Treetor's surrender was broadcast on Republic HoloNet channels, though the Separatists were quick to ensure reporters knew their reason for the Major's surrender—supposedly, Domb Treetor surrendered to Brand only to save the citizens of Agao and other nearby settlements from further warfare. The Ailon Nova Guard served on the Republic side of the conflict and was known to be critical of the Jedi leadership, feeling they were too lenient.
